For fall 2022 and fall 2023, mean broccoli head widths were compared against treatment groups and blocks using a two-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey Test with 95% confidence interval. Common letters in the same column denote treatment means are not significantly different from one another. Head width sizes varied widely in the fall 2022 and fall 2023 seasons due to a marked increase in pest pressure and damage in 2023. Thus, head width during the 2023 season was much smaller on average than head width during the previous season.
